Download as PDF dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 20, 2008 / Notices restrictions on major arterials, empty container management through policies and incentives, implementation of truck emission/safety enforcement facilities, expanded public transportation, and an expanded Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to include entire study area. • Alternative Goods Movement Technology. • Arterial Highway and I–710 Congestion Relief Improvements. • I–710 Mainline Improvements. Æ Option A—10 general-purpose lanes with no carpool lanes. Æ Option B—eight general-purpose lanes with one carpool lane in each direction (total of 10). • Locally Preferred Strategy Hybrid Design (I–710 Mainline Improvements with the addition of a separated four lane freight movement facility)— Includes ten general purpose lanes next to a separated four lane freight movement facility from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (Ocean Boulevard) to the UP and BNSF intermodal yards southeast of the I–710/ I–5 interchange. This alternative is a community-based recommendation from the previous I–710 Major Corridor Study: Major Opportunity /Strategy Recommendations and Conditions. These basic alternatives will have additional design variations, which provide optional lane use (general purpose, High Occupancy Vehicle, Transportation Systems Management), optional on and off ramp modifications, and other engineering details. These alternatives may be refined, combined with various different alternatives, or be removed from further consideration, as more analysis is conducted on the project alternatives. Analysis supporting the EIS will determine the type of facility necessary to meet the existing and future transportation needs in the corridor. The following permits may be required to construct the proposed project: • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 permit. • Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. • 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Game. • Incidental take permit from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). • Incidental take permit from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries. • State Coastal Development Permit. • Federal Coastal Zone Management Act Consistency Determination. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 Aug 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 • Encroachment permits from the various cities in which project construction would occur. Caltrans is holding public scoping meetings to provide an overview of the project, summary of the environmental process and issues addressed, and receive input regarding environmental issues and the suggested scope and content of the EIR. An Agency Scoping Meeting will be held on September 10, 2008 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a Public Scoping Meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Progress Park in the City of Paramount.

It is anticipated that the Draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment in mid-2010. Public meetings will be held in study area communities in the summer of 2010. In addition, public hearings will be held. Public notice will be given for the time and place of the public meetings and hearings. The EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the public hearing. To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action is addressed and all significant concerns are identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties.
